Kokila Jātaka
JātakaChuyện Bổn sanh về một vị vua nói nhiều được chữa khỏi thói quen ấy khi vị đại thần chỉ cho ông thấy con quạ đã nuôi dưỡng rồi giết chết một chim cu con vì kêu không đúng mùa, so sánh số phận kẻ lắm lời với chim cu ấy, được kể liên quan đến tỳ khưu Kokālika.
King Brahmadatta was very talkative, and his minister, the Bodhisatta, sought an opportunity of admonishing him. This opportunity occurred while they were watching a crow’s nest in which a cuckoo had laid an egg. The crow watched over it and fed the young cuckoo after its birth. One day the cuckoo cried before it was grown up, and the crow killed it and threw it away. The king inquired of the Bodhisatta the reason for this, and he explained that the garrulous who talk in and out of season meet with a similar fate. The king was cured of his evil habit.
The story was told in reference to Kokālika, who is identified with the young cuckoo. J.iii.102 f
